Prague. Dix, Syd, and Nadia are outside Elena's facility. Syd tells Jack and Marshall that they're in place. Jack says that Angela Bassett has authorized them to shoot to kill. Nadia looks slightly pained by this as she says, "Copy that." Oh, get over it, Nadia. Elena framed you, tried to kill Sydney, AND was going to kill your boyfriend! Bitch deserves to die! Marshall tells them that according to thermal energy satellite whoosy-whatsits, there are forty people inside and there are three main areas to secure. Syd copies that and the three of them move out. Inside, they split up and make their way through the facility, sneaking all the way. At one point, Dix hears some people exiting a building and he hears someone say something about a prisoner and that they're bringing "her" down now. Dix gets a glimpse of the prisoner, even though we don't, and the expression on his face is one of "Damn! I thought she was dead!" Incidentally, the man in charge of the prisoner is Jonski Voightskovich from the beginning of the show.
Dix gets up, as if to follow the van, but just then a door slams shut nearby. He turns, gun ready, and it's Sloane. "I was as surprised as you are," he says, referring to the prisoner. Dix orders him to drop his weapon. Sloane orders Dix to drop his. Jack and Marshall hear all of this as Marshall pinpoints their location. Nadia runs toward Dix and Sloane. Meanwhile, they're both continuing to tell the other person to drop it. Sloane says that he warned all of them, but now it's too big to stop. "You can't stop this, only I can," he says. Syd and Nadia take out a couple of guards in an effort to make their way to Dix and Sloane. "You have to trust me," says Sloane. "Trust YOU?" says Dix. "Get out of here now!" grits Sloane. We switch back to Nadia as BAM! BAM! is heard from Dix and Sloane. Uh-oh. Dix slowly slumps to the ground and Elena stands behind him with her gun in hand. Jack shouts at Dix to report, but…he's sleeping. Sloane walks up to Dix and looks at him sadly. "Time to leave," snaps Elena. Sloane reluctantly follows her as Syd and Nadia race to Dix's side. They get there and Dix is moving slightly, but definitely wounded. Syd requests immediate extraction.
Hospital Room of Secret Lovers Who Shall Soon Be Found Out. Dix is in the hospital bed, alive but struggling. Angela is by his side, gently caressing his head. Syd and Jack watch from outside the room as Angela kisses Dix on the lips. She comes out and orders them to call her if anything changes. She walks off. Syd's all, uh, did you have ANY idea about her and Dix? Jack's all, no. But then again, I tend to miss little details like that. Syd's all, oh, right. Ya do not! You're the master of details. Jack's all, oh really? Then how come I keep going over the details of me shooting your mother over and over again and they never feel right? How come, the one time I really could have used my Master's Degree in Detailsology to its fullest, I forget the most important thing I should have remembered: your mother would never, ever hurt you. "She was ready to shut Elena down and I killed her," says Jack. "She was our only hope." "That's not true," says Syd. "We can stop them." Syd assures her father that she trusts his motives and that he always has her best interests at heart. Jack swallows this and then asks how Nadia is feeling. Syd doesn't think she's feeling much of anything right now.
